This year, I will be participating in The Prouty along with thousands of my fellow community members who will bike, walk, row, golf and more to raise money for Dartmouth Cancer Center. Together, we MUST continue to  go all in to end cancer. 

More than one third of all people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lifetimes. In the past two years alone I have had five family members diagnosed with SIX new cancers!* I have ridden in the Prouty for more years than I can remember and I HAVE  to continue to ride! I spent my entire 26 year nursing career in oncology or closely connected to oncology.  I cannot stress enough how far we have come in our treatment options and I have seen first hand the improved quality of life and the longevity provided to our patients and my family members who have been able to receive these treatments because of the research that the Prouty funds support!  There have also been times when there wasn't a treatment option! WE MUST FIX THIS!  As far as we have come we still have mountains to move, soooo far to go before we get where we need to be and we must not slow down!  

All of the funds I raise go toward cutting-edge cancer research and crucial patient support services at the Cancer Center and I and my family members, your family members are the ones who benefit directly from your donations to my efforts. 

Please Please consider donating as I ride this year in memory of my nephew Mark, my dad, in honor of my mom, my nieces Amy, Heidi, and my great nephew Tristen. WE'VE GOT THIS and I KNOW YOU CAN HELP TOO!!

Here are two ways that you can help support patients, doctors and caregivers in the fight against cancer: 

1. Join me! Register for The Prouty today.
2. Make a gift to my Prouty fundraiser and help me reach my goal. Click the ‘donate’ button to support my efforts in the 2024 Prouty.

All funds raised will help fund innovative researchers and clinicians who are dedicated to finding ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer. Prouty funds also provide meaningful patient and family support services that are otherwise unfunded—such as support groups, massage, art therapy programs, transportation and grocery assistance, and more.

Thank you for your support!

All my best always

Stay well

Together, we are changing lives. Together, we will end cancer.
